Realized I could make my own little moodboards today and got pretty excited :]
“you touched my arm and now i have to cut it off”
“i blinked wrong. i have to do it again. again. again. again. again. okay that’s better.”
“sorry i didn’t quite catch that. sorry could you just- yeah. what? huh? no i didn’t get that- could you just write it down?”
directions just go in one ear and out the other
and god forbid i have to talk to anyone with an accent
“i didn’t listen to that song right. i have to do it again. again. again. again. again. okay, better.”
the r a g e when your plan/routine gets disrupted
“oh that leaf brushed my left hand? okay cool now i gotta brush it against my right hand in exactly the same way or else i’ll Die”
“this has to be symmetrical or i will gouge my eyes out because it feels BAD”
the exhaustion that sometimes follows talking about a special interest
getting overwhelmed talking about/interacting with your special interest
“what emotion is this?”
“this is the only song i can listen to and it brings me a genuine feeling of relief/release to hear it. i must loop it over and over until i suddenly hate it. i don’t know why.”
randomly finding yourself thinking/talking like a robot and having to consciously switch on emotions/empathy
or the other way around, if you get overwhelmed
“loud noises are fucking terrifying and i will cry if i get caught off guard by one”
“someone i don’t like/trust/know touched this thing and now i can’t until it’s been washed”
p a i n
where is the pain coming from? idk.
what’s itching??? where is that???
“wow that hurt! okay, i gotta do it again”
feel free to add on!!
you ever just get super thirsty, guzzle half a water bottle, and think “aa yes this will sustain me for the next month”
Update on this post: I told her! It went really well!
She still doesn’t really understand, but she accepts me and is open to the idea of nonhumans. I was pretty surprised by her reaction since I know she’s been confused about therians in the past, but I was able to educate and explain some stuff to her. So it’s a win!! =3
Creatures who have told their IRLs your nonhuman identity: how did it go? I’m currently considering telling my partner, but I’m just curious about other’s experiences!
(We have a really good relationship and I’ve already explained that I’m more of a snake than a human, but I want to tell her more about the alterhuman community in general.)
Does anyone else (particularly endels) have an issue taking care of themself sometimes due to species dysphoria? I am a divine creature and this body is just a shell I’m living in. It’s difficult for me to take care of myself currently since it directly clashes with who I feel my real self is. It feels like pretending to be human brings me farther from my true self/form. I outwardly play the part of human for the sake of the people around me, but I don’t know…sometimes I get tired <_>
physical nonhumans/therians are those who believe that they are in some way physically an animal. A person may believe their DNA is that of a wolf’s, or that their brain/internal organs are literally that of an otter. They may also believe that under certain circumstances they can physically transform into an animal. often this is related to psychosis/delusions, but it may be due to another reason too.
At least that’s what I understand to the best of my knowledge, if anyone has a better description let me know!
*this is kind of as a coping mechanism for my shitty ass life atm im not just "doing it for fun"
